This week in Lakers talk
The shows spent the week parsing major Lakers upheaval. There's been heavy discussion around the team's sale to a new ownership group and a legal battle within the Buss family over control of the franchise. On the basketball side, the talk keeps coming back to LeBron James leaving for Philadelphia and how the Lakers are moving forward with Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, with some hosts seeing real Finals potential in that pairing.
